DaRmaZat ONTOS, developed by Frictional Games and published by Kepler Interactive, showcases its immersive narrative and tactile mechanics in a newly released gameplay trailer ahead of its 2027 release on modern platforms. Built by the creators of SOMA, the sci-fi adventure takes place aboard Samsara, a repurposed moon hotel built over a failed mining colony.
You step into the shoes of Aditi Amani, venturing into the moon outpost following an invitation linked to her estranged father, a brilliant scientist turned prophet. Exploration guides you through an interconnected labyrinth where luxury casinos and swimming pools have been converted into research labs by competing philosophical factions. As reality fractures around you, progress requires solving open-ended environmental puzzles without a single fixed solution.
Gameplay in ONTOS emphasizes hands-on interaction with analog machinery, requiring manual calibration, material scavenging, and careful planning. The trials you encounter present existential dilemmas where even well-intentioned moral choices can produce severe consequences across the station.
ONTOS launches sometime in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
